Waterfront Partnership announces holiday event series to activate Inner Harbor

Over the years, it’s felt like the Inner Harbor has lost some of its magic, according to Leanna Wetmore of the Waterfront Partnership. With a new event series, the organization aims to re-engage the harbor around the holidays and show it’s a fun place even in the cold. “We always say the harbor is where Baltimore greets the world,” said Wetmore, the group’s director of events and programs. “And we want the world to see who Baltimore really is.” The series, called “Winter on the Waterfront,” launches this week. It includes existing traditions such as the Inner Harbor Ice Rink, which will return this year to the Inner Harbor Amphitheater. The rink will be open from Nov. 11 until Jan. 16.
